Transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to
another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare
("to carry"). Industries which have the business of providing equipment,
actual transport, transport of people or goods and services used in
transport of goods or people make up a large broad and important sector of
most national economies, and are collectively referred to as transport
industries.The field of transport has
several aspects: loosely they can be divided into a triad of infrastructure,
vehicles, and operations. Infrastructure includes the transport networks
(roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are
used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, railway stations,
bus stations and seaports).
